the last of them

i promise you all, i do believe, this is the last of my 2011 posts. sometimes, i get dressed, and don't do a whole lot. like this day, i played a lot of atari with my brother (my parents bought the family one for christmas), and then i probably did something later, but i don't recall.

i was still teaching my brother to use the camera, he hasn't quite gotten down the low light situation yet, but soon enough i'm sure he'll master it.

details:

sweater: forever 21, gift

dress: modcloth

tights: target

shoes: asos, gift

cowl: handmade

~new years eve~

i had a lovely and low key new years eve. i spent it with d. we drank jameson and ginger ale, ate pizza, roasted marshmallows, and went to bed early. the only thing i would've asked for, would've been a scrabble match. again, the remote is mia, and daniel was outside building the fire, so i just took some photos in the mirror. class act.

details:

cardigan: target

dress: forever 21, gift

tights: old navy

belt: his & hers vintage

necklace: fever few, gift

this was subsequently, also, my 200th post.

day after

well. i lost my camera remote. again. it might be in sacramento, it might be here. who knows. i just placed an order for a new one (along with another big item), so hopefully you'll see outfits.

anyway, this is from the day after christmas! i wore some new stuff (i love the holidays for the new clothes i get!), and relaxed all day. it was lovely.

this post also features, pistachio, my sisters, and my christmas outfit in photobooth form!

since i've been here i've been living half out of a suitcase, half everything on the floor. i decided to pick up and have bunny time. pistachio wanted to be packed.

eve

happy new years eve! now these photos aren't from today, but from christmas eve! i'm a bit behind, but it is allowing me to blog more frequently so i'm totally cool with that.

my sister, aunt and brother and i went on a walk and i let my brother use my camera while i taught him how to do some stuff on it. he was getting pretty good by the end of the walk and had a lot of fun. so these photos are kind of silly and not really typical of a blog post here, but enjoy.

my brother! he's a whole 13 years old.

my bigger little sister

my new glasses.

details:

jacket: thrifted

dress: h&m

tights: target

shoes: forever 21

oh man, it's been a while. i'd apologize for my absence, but it was much needed. i began to feel pretty down in in the dumps and wasn't feeling inspired by much. but i plan to turn this right back around as soon as i can.

the holidays were lovely this year. my sisters and i have a weird tradition where we take photos in the bathroom together. we get super silly and have lots of fun.
left to right: kaelee: 21, samantha: 19 & me: 23.



i'm always wearing this dress. but here is a new appearance from some red tights, a cardigan from express that was a gift many moons ago and my new shoes!







kaelee's been away for a year in texas, and samantha is located in montana. so i like seeing them and spending time with them whenever possible.


these are probably one of my top favorite gifts i got this year (that i picked out). i love moccasins so much. i've gone through two previous pairs in the last three years, and i'm so glad to have a new pair.


aaah my insulated klean kanteen. i had a regular one before these came out but now i'll never go back. this sucker keeps ice water as ice water forever!




i also got a forestbound bag. it was one of the simple ones she was offering from black friday to cyber monday. it's so simple and beautiful.


i also got a lens for my pentax 645 medium format (film) camera. it's a 75mm f2.8 and i love it so. i've already gone shooting with it and i can't wait to develop my film from it.




i also baked a TON. i made chocolate dipped cookies with crushed peppermint, nutella sandwiches and cinnamon pinwheels.

i hope everyone had a happy holiday and that you'll have a happy new year as well!
